The Miami Masters will commence on March 21. All the top-10 players on the ATP and WTA tours are on the entry list, including Djokovic.

Wildcards have been awarded to Andy Murray, Nick Kyrgios and Osaka.

Murray has made a good start to the season, returning to the top 100 of the ATP rankings. Osaka and Kyrgios will taste their first bit of action since the Australian Open.
